Two really good teams. I think the starting pitching is very close, maybe a slight edge to Nos. I think the lineups are close, a slight edge to me. I think the difference is that while both lineups hit for a very high average, mine has a lot more power.

I know it's shocking but I had me 1 Nos 2... I personally thought I had the best pitching but I did like Nos' pretty close...

I like UK's lineup more and Nos' pitching more. Teams are pretty even. Hard to decide either way but I think Nos did a great job considering UK got the best of that trade early the draft.

I got UK by a hair. Great teams guys. Like really great haha

Don't you two get tired of playing with each other?

I got Nos winning even though he doesn't want me to live near him

Ott .304 30 110 .414
Campy .276 32 114 .360
Averill .318 23 113 .395
Brooks .267 15 76 .322
Stephens .286 23 111 .355

Hamilton .344 4 75 .455
Hornsby .358 22 114 .434
Jackson .356 7 95 .423
Wilson .307 29 128 .395
Cochrane .320 13 91 .419
Howard .273 33 96 .352
Burkett .338 6 75 .415
Boudreau .295 7 78 .380
McGraw .334 2 68 .466

So, I absolutely agree with UK that he has much more power than I do it's honestly not really that close but as you can see he has great AVG/OBP hitters but that's not really that close either and I also have a lot more team speed, this is how I purposely put my team together.

I also agree both rotations are very good and I do think mine is slightly better but honestly if I had his rotation i'd still be pretty happy.

I thought these were the two best teams and I would have had no problem losing to what I viewed as the second best team, but I do lean me

This is one of the best matchups I remember in a MLB draft in quite sometime. Great team as usual my brother!
